不会分派任务 你就当不了领导 As we move upwards in an organization, our perspective begins to change, sometimes in ways that can feel uncomfortable. Most people begin working in some technical skill area where they can reliably produce desired outcomes based largely on their own performance. 随着我们在一个组织内部获得提拔，我们看待事物的视角也开始发生变化，有时甚至会让你自己觉得不自在。大多数人进入一个组织之后首先承担的是某个技术领域的角色，而且他们基本上确实能够根据自己的能力贡献出组织所需要的成果。 In my career, I was a public relations practitioner, skilled at media relations, drafting news releases, organizing events and news conferences, etc. Of course that also required the skill of collaborating with others, but I wasn’t responsible for their performance. However, as my mastery of public relations increased into the areas of consulting and selling, I started moving up the ladder until eventually I was the general manager of the organization. 在我的职业生涯早年，我曾经是一名公关专员，擅长拓展媒体关系、撰写新闻通稿、组织活动和新闻发布会等工作。当然，这些工作也需要你具备与别人合作的技能，但当时我并用不为别人的表现负责。不过，随着我的技能扩展到咨询和销售等领域，我开始在公司里获得提拔，最终当上了公司的总经理。 That’s when I hit the wall! Suddenly, I realized I had been catapulted beyond my area of competence. I really had no idea how to “manage” others and how to “delegate” responsibility effectively to other players.

Needless to say I suffered hugely as a manager until I learned the difficult lesson that (as my coach at the time said to me) “You need to find new ways of being important.” 这时候，我遭遇了职业的“撞墙期”。突然间，我发现我遇到了似乎力所不逮的问题。当时我真的不知道如何“管理”别人，如何把职责有效地“委派”给其他人。那么，我是怎样做的？我把大多数职责包揽在自己身上，继续亲历亲为，从事需要我的专业技能的工作，只是偶尔把一些“任务”委派给别人。不用说，当时我作为一位经理吃了不少苦头，后来才在这些苦头中领悟到（就像当时我的导师对我说的那样）：“你得找到新的方法来体现自己的重要性。” The new role, the “new way of being important” that I learned was the role of leader, orchestrator, delegator. The new role of developing others instead of simply being a technical expert. The new role of working through others, not doing a
